VMWare Player and OpenSUSE12.3 = Problem. Please, Help me.

VMWare kernel module Updater.
Before you can run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.
Kernel Headers 3.7.10-1.1-desktop
Kernel headers for version 3.7.10-1.1-desktop where not found. If you installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below. Otherwise refer to your distribution`s documentation for installation instructions and click Refresh to search again in default locations.

Meaning that you would put in whatever you have as your user name & if you've kept the Player in your Downloads Folder that command line will tell your PC where to find it. You'll have to type this yourself as it is highly unlikely you'd name yourself "yourusername" this is why you do not C & P this.
As An example in my case I typed mine in so that it looked like this

Code:

# sh /home/robbie/Downloads/VMware-Player-5.0.2-1031769.x86_64.bundle

Step 3 still as root it is OK to C & P this.

Code:

#vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

When you copy leave out the "#" sign!
Do that & you should have a VMware player that works!
